A gorgeous card with the Joyful Tidings set

November 24, 2025

This beautiful card has tons of Gold accents plus there are lots of neat tips you’ll appreciate. I made it during last week’s video.

It was originally created for our November Team swap. The theme was to use foil or metallic heat embossing. I did both!

Notice the background stamping on the right side; I used the Amber Autumn set with Versamark ink. The greeting is from the Ornamental Christmas set. The gold foil ‘wheat’ die-cuts are from the Amber Autumn dies
The wreath stamp set is Joyful Tidings and can be seen here. I’ve always loved wreaths and used to collect them.

Here I simply heat embossed the partial wreath in Gold embossing powder. It’s stamped on a die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. See the pretty gold hoop? Those are available here and are applied with either mini glue dots or thin lines of Multipurpose Liquid Glue (which I did).

My colors include Basic Beige, Mossy Meadow and Gold foil. I textured the Mossy Meadow layer with the Wreath 3D embossing folder. I also used the Labeled with Love punch to achieve the ‘ticket’ shaped corners.
*look at your punches to see if you can use them in new ways!

This card is a slightly different fold because the second layer is what opens. I created a free project sheet for this card for you. Click here to download or print it.

I also have a video tutorial seen below for this beautiful card and one more beautiful card featuring the Joyful Tidings stamp set that I’ll share Wednesday.

3 unique Honeybee Home card ideas

January 17, 2022
This week I'm featuring cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team. Today both cards showcase the Honeybee Home bundle seen here.

This first card was made by Candace. She is a master at coloring & sponging as you can see.

Save

She stamped & die-cut the floral image multiple times for a pretty bouquet and adhered them to her beautiful sponged background. The gorgeous sky background is done with Pacific Point ink and a very light hand at sponging. She colored the flowers with watercolor pencils.

Save

You can see this pretty bundle here online.

Next is a totally different card made by Annette for our Monochromatic swap this month.

Save

She stamped the bee and greeting in Crumb Cake ink onto a Stitched Rectangle die-cut. Then added a few die-cuts from the Honeybee Blooms dies and layered it on a Crumb Cake layer. Simply beautiful!

~~~

Mary made this next card with this same bundle along with the Heart & Home designer paper.

She used 3 layers of this pretty paper as a background for her dies & greeting. Great idea!

Save

Her colors are Pale Papaya & Garden Green. The White greeting tag is one of my favorite 'go to' punches called the Tailored Tag punch.

Measurements:
- White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Pale Papaya 3 3/4" X 5"
- DSP layers 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"

Last of 3 ideas with the Friendly Hello Sale-a-Bration bundle; treat box & video

January 13, 2022

I've been sharing the projects I made on last week's FB Live and this is the last one. It's a pretty treat box that's actually quite easy to make.

Save

The box above features Pool Party, White & Black colors with a bird & flower accent. The one below is in Fresh Freesia with Pool Party accents.

Save

Here are both together. I used the same stamps & Designer paper but look how different they are! Black glittered ribbon vs sheer Pool Party ribbon also makes a difference in the overall look.

Save

Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle. It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022. It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase. Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.

Save

And here is the template & measurements. Watch the video here or click below to see how to make it from start to finish.

Save

Here's what the box looks like open. You can fit quite a few small treats inside. This would be perfect for a Valentine's treat box too.

Save

Below is the video for three projects using this beautiful FREE bundle. This box is the last project I share.
